Reframing

How can we think differently about our experiences? These courses are about being curious! They aren’t just about one fixed view on mental health, but aim to reframe mental health through different perspectives across a range of topics.

Is diagnosis fixed or does it change over time?
What is the actual role of diagnosis?
Is it fact or opinion?
The panel discussion examines many of these questions by looking at the value, impact or meaning that diagnosis has for people.

This course brings people together to engage in an open dialogue about the role of medication in mental health. It will allow for a space to explore the experiences you have, or have had with medication. Those experiences might include supporting someone else who was or is using medication.
